KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1003 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

-Dry conditions expected the remainder of the week before our next rain chances return by this weekend.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Wednesday night) Issued at 1003 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

The main H500 trough over central TX continues to move east- northeast into the lower Mississippi River valley by mid week. Rain chances will stay well south and east of the Panhandles as this system progresses eastward, with more large scale subsidence entering the Panhandles from the west, with a building H500 ridge axis over the Four Corners region. High temperatures on Tuesday will range from the upper 60s in the NW to low and mid 70s in the SE TX Panhandle. A weak cold front on Wednesday will drop highs a handful of degrees compared to Tuesday.

LONG TERM

(Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 1003 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

A H500 ridge will build into southern Canada and shift into the High Plains by Friday night, keeping dry conditions over the Panhandles. Latest 09/00Z model data shows another H500 trough moving into the Panhandles in the wake of the aforementioned H500 trough. Currently about a 20-40% chance of rain this weekend associated with the trough. Highest chances of rain favoring eastern Panhandles this weekend, but will watch trends closely. High temperatures will be near to slightly below average for early to mid November.
